I keep telling people that “Dug Doozie” is the clown car pilot.

He tells Nike that he’s taking their incentives for a West Valley manufacturing facility over the Flag shoe flap, then Governor Bozo gets spotted wearing a pair of Nikes only days later.

Now he’s reversing his decision to remove the funding (that a wealthy company like Nike shouldn’t be getting anyway) and speaking as if he never threatened to remove the incentives in the first place!

When I tell you that the Arizona GOP is probably the greatest GOP circus act in this country (after the Texas delegation of course), I’m not kidding. They’re an embarrassment.

Here in IL we’re impressed with any Governor who hasn’t been indicted / imprisoned, so having a Governor whose biggest issue is talking out of both sides of his mouth would be a vast improvement

Well done voters in Arizona!

Of course you're not. We don't give away enough welfare to lure you.

How much of an assclown does one have to be to threaten a half a billion dollar investment in your own state over this future employer deciding not to sell a pair of damn shoes? What does that say about someones judgement?

Not sure about judgment, but any principles he seemed to have just got flushed down the toilet.

Great decision, screw Nike. They are still building there, the jobs are still there, they just lost a pile of incentives. They can borrow the lost money from Anti American Colin Kapernick..
Screw Nike and Colin Kapernick... and the rest of you left wing Kapernick supporters...
GO TRUMP 2020 MAGA....

Lol...you don’t have enough of ANYTHING to lure me there. Not even when my wife was offered an executive level position at the GSA in Dallas/Ft Worth. She waited an additional 3 years with hopes that the position would open in this district instead, which it eventually did. And even if it hadn’t opened here, we wouldn’t have moved to Texas for her to take it under any circumstances.

And welfare? Texas HAS to have fairly generous welfare benefits considering how much of the state is poverty stricken. Not only that, but your unemployment benefits are twice as high as ours.

Texas is just as much of a welfare kingdom as any other state. All that tough talkin’ swaggering cowboy fake rugged individualist nonsense isn’t fooling anyone. I know better.
